Celeveland soffre nel primo tempo andando anche a -17, poi LeBron (40 punti e 13 assistenze) guida la rimonta sui Pistons con seguente vittoria. Da sottolineare il collasso avuto in panchina da Rodney Stuckey, portato in urgenza in ospedale. Los Angeles sprofonda a Charlotte sotto i colpi di Raymond Felton e Steph Jackson. Boston passa bene a Philadelphia, Milwaukee trascinata da Salmons (17 punti) asfalta i Wizards. Bargnani decide la sfida italiana contro i Knicks del solito ma inutile David Lee (23+18), Dallas (Nowitzki 31+12) vince la decima partita consecutiva contro i Kings. Vittorie comode per i Nuggets sui Pacers e per i Thunder a L.A contro i Clips. Gli Hawks vincono una partita equilibratissima contro i Warriors di Steph Curry (31 punti) grazie ai ventelli di Joe Jonson, Josh Smith e Jamal Crawford (27,29 e 23 punti), bene gli Spurs sugli Hornets con Parker e Ginobili in evidenza.
